- Very – Often unnecessary and can be replaced with a stronger adjective.
- Really – Similar to "very," it adds little value.
- Just – Frequently filler without adding meaning.
- That – Often redundant and can be removed without changing the sentence.
- Actually – Can sound hesitant or unnecessary.
